By Dr Kevin BarrettWho is responsible for the disaster in Iraq?Some blame the US for its calamitous invasion and occupation. Others
fault Iraqis, pointing to sectarianism, corruption and incompetence.But on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
inadvertently revealed the truth: The tragedy in Iraq (like similar
tragedies in Syria, Libya, Sudan and elsewhere) was made in Israel. All
of these countries have been destabilized as part of Israel’s Oded Yinon
plan to balkanize the Middle East.Speaking at a Tel Aviv University think tank, Netanyahu declared
Israel’s support for the destruction of Iraq to make way for an
independent Kurdish state. Israel “should support the Kurdish aspiration
for independence,” Netanyahu announced, celebrating the success of
Israel’s plan to ignite sectarian strife in key Middle Eastern countries
and set the stage for their fragmentation.The destruction of Iraq would be a bonanza for Israel. Such a move
would not only eliminate the geo-strategic threat of a united Iraq, but
would also hand Israel the lion’s share of the oil of an independent
Kurdistan. (Zionists have been infiltrating Kurdistan for years; they
are well positioned to dominate its oil and send it to market via a
pipeline to Israel.)ISIL’s attack on Iraq has made this Zionist dream possible. Using the
“ISIL threat” as an excuse, Israeli-backed Iraqi Kurds have seized
Kirkuk, a major oil production center. If Kirkuk were included in an
independent Kurdistan, Iraq would lose much of its future oil revenues,
while Israeli-dominated Kurdistan would funnel its vast oil wealth to
Tel Aviv.And by intensifying the destabilization of other Middle Eastern
countries, a Kurdish declaration of independence would yield another
benefit to Israel. Turkey, Syria and Iran, like Iraq, include regions
where Kurdish-speaking people form a majority. Should Iraqi Kurds break
away from Baghdad, extremist and/or Zionist-supported elements of
neighboring Kurdish communities would want to dismember those nations
too. The likely result: An interlinked series of civil wars that might
even explode into a regional war.This is precisely what Netanyahu and other Israeli extremists want.
They are desperately searching for a powder-keg and a spark to ignite a
big Mideast war that would give Israel the opportunity to finish its
ethnic cleansing of Palestine under cover of “the fog of war.”Officially, the US opposes Netanyahu’s plan to smash Iraq into
pieces. Last Tuesday, US Secretary of State John Kerry visited Iraq’s
Kurdish region and spoke to Kurdish leaders. Kerry told the Kurds to
remain part of Iraq. The US, he said, supports a united Iraq and opposes
its dismemberment.But can the US really oppose Israeli policy? History suggests that
Israel has a way of bending the American superpower to its whims.During the 1990s, Netanyahu’s US-based Israeli agents, including Paul
Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, and Scooter Libby, were
pushing for the US to invade and occupy Iraq. Though they claimed they
wanted to convert Iraq into a Western-style democracy, and predicted
that invading US troops would be welcomed with candy and flowers, their
real aim was to destroy Iraq and set the stage for its partition.Throughout the 1990s, the non-Zionist faction of the US ruling elite
successfully opposed the Zionist plan to invade Iraq. Such a war, they
knew, would not serve the US national interest.But the Zionists did not care about the US national interest. All they cared about was pursuing the Oded Yinon plan.So on September 11th, 2001, the Zionists staged a coup d’état in
America. They blew up the three World Trade Center skyscrapers, bombed
the Pentagon, blamed their enemies, and used the resulting wave of
outrage to seize power and change national policy. Under Zionist
command, in service to Israeli interests, the US military invaded and
occupied Iraq.During the US occupation, the Israelis and their nominally American
mercenaries created and oversaw the sexual torture at Abu Ghraib. They
assassinated hundreds of Iraq’s leading scientists and scholars in an
intellectual genocide designed to cripple Iraq’s future potential. And
they unleashed a wave of false flag terror aimed at fomenting sectarian
strife. Today, they are preparing to harvest the fruits of their labors.Will the US stick to its official policy supporting the unity of
Iraq? Or will it surrender to the Zionists and allow Kurdistan to be
violently ripped from the national body?There is some question about whether the US is sincere in its
professed support for Iraqi unity. Sometimes the American leadership
takes a principled stand in its official positions, while pursuing an
unprincipled secret policy that is diametrically opposed to the official
one. And often that unprincipled secret policy is in line with Israel’s
policy.For example, when the brutal thug and Israeli agent al-Sisi overthrew
Egypt’s democratically-elected President Mohamed Morsi, the US
officially opposed the coup d’état, while Israel openly welcomed it and
called al-Sisi “a national hero for all Jews.” But America’s professed
opposition to the coup was only skin deep. Even as Morsi was being
overthrown, Netanyahu reassured al-Sisi that the billions of dollars of
US taxpayer funds that prop up Egypt’s military would continue to flow.
And they have.Another example of the US doing the exact opposite of what it says is
the American sponsorship of ISIL. Officially, the US pretends that ISIL
is public enemy number one. But behind the scenes, the American
taxpayers are funding these too-extreme-for-Al-Qaeda militants, and the
CIA is training and equipping them at not-so-secret bases in Jordan. The
US seems to have aided and abetted ISIL’s assault on Iraq. This could
only have been done in service to Israel and its Oded Yinon plan to
balkanize Iraq and the whole region.Will the US ever decide to assert its own interests – and foster
peace and stability in the Middle East? Or is the world’s sole
superpower destined to remain forever an abject slave of Israel?And will the Iraqi people succumb to Zionist-incited sectarianism and
ethnic strife? Or will they rise above such petty concerns and manage
to preserve their national unity?
